Campers will benefit from a collegiate-style training regiment and learn why each workout is important.
  • Technique: A two-hour session dedicated entirely to technical development. Campers are split into age and skill-level groups to assure suitable learning techniques.

This camp is geared toward individuals or teams that are looking for a blend of intense workouts and team competition. The goal of this camp is to combine the best concepts of our intensive training camp and our team competition camp. It is our hope that by doing this we will ensure that every camper is getting the opportunity to challenge themselves with BOTH intensive training concepts (i.e. lifting, running, drilling etc.) and live matches.

There will be a strong focus on teaching each wrestler how to excel at the next level through intensive workouts and team based competitions. Wrestlers will be placed on teams that will be led by current UVA Wrestlers. The day will be broken up with fast-paced technique sessions, strength and conditioning workouts and live matches. All practices will be run using the same format that the UVA wrestlers are trained in and thus wrestlers will learn how to effectively drill from all positions at the college level.

Another new and exciting change this year will be the addition of the first annual NAVY SEAL CHALLENGE. On the last day every member of the camp will be put through the NAVY SEAL CHALLENGE to test their mental toughness and conditioning. The challenge will consist of a timed mile and a half run, max pushups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and 1500 Meter swim.
